Chapter 1023: Intercepting the Old Demon

In the rear half of the Mount Kunwu Hall, a giant shuttle flashed like a silver dragon in the air, followed by a silver ball, purple mist, and a blood shadow in hot pursuit.

Various spell attacks bombarded the shuttle like a rainstorm, but after strange golden-silver light flashed on its surface, they were all blocked hard.

The Sun-Moon Shuttle was worthy of being one of the three great spirit shuttles in the human world; even such fierce attacks couldn't do anything to it for a moment.

Inside the giant shuttle, Madam Mu was driving the spirit shuttle with all her might, desperately dodging the attacks from behind. Beside her, the beautiful woman was tightly gripping the Four-Image Ruler, but her face was bloodless, and her eyes were slightly closed; she was clearly in a weak state.

It seemed that forcing herself to use a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure like the Four-Image Ruler earlier had almost exhausted her magic power.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, do you really want to be in the same boat as two monsters? The two of us taking the treasures here is for the safety of the human world, to re-seal this mountain." Madam Mu's cultivation was far inferior to Old Demon Qian and the two monsters. Every time she wanted to find a way to escape, she was blocked by the three of them, and as her magic power flew away, she couldn't help but say in shock and anger.

"Hmph, spare me the grand talk about the safety of the mortal world; do you take this old man for a three-year-old child? Besides, when has this old man ever joined forces with monsters? These two fellow Daoists are simply feeling indignant about the two of you launching an attack. A tiny Spirit Transformation Sect dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth! If you are sensible, obediently hand over the treasure you took. Also, that jade ruler is a replica of a Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure, right? Leave that for this old man as well." The voice of Old Demon Qian came sneering from within the blood shadow.

Hearing this, Madam Mu let out a sigh, knowing that saying anything was meaningless. After all, their Transformation Immortal Sect didn't count for much in the eyes of the ten great righteous and demonic sects.

Under the joint efforts of Old Demon Qian and the two monsters, the Sun-Moon Shuttle finally began to dim in spiritual light and was gradually forced into a corner of the hall.

Just as Old Demon Qian revealed a ferocious expression, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the two women and break the spirit shuttle, a sound of Sanskrit chanting came from the shuttle. Immediately, white lotus flowers appeared around Old Demon Qian and the two monsters, and a white ruler shot out from the shuttle simultaneously.

"Bad!" Whether it was the silver light, purple mist, or blood shadow, they all retreated backward like seeing a poisonous scorpion. Old Demon Qian and the two monsters, who had suffered once, absolutely dared not let these white lotuses get close.

With this breathing space, the white ruler flew back into the shuttle in a flash, and the giant shuttle disappeared in place immediately, appearing behind the old demon and the others the next moment, shooting directly toward the Arctic Yuan Light.

And those white lotuses collapsed silently, actually just illusions with no substance.

Old Demon Qian and the Silver-Winged Nightcha and others were furious at this, knowing they had been tricked, and immediately drove their escape lights to chase after them desperately.

But they were already a step late. The golden-silver giant shuttle plunged into the Arctic Yuan Light. Countless silver threads shot toward this treasure, but after contacting the giant shuttle's surface, they were all bounced away by a layer of silver screen.

Madam Mu was pinching spells with both hands, urging a silver token in her hand incessantly, her face full of solemnity.

This silver token was shining with silver light, spraying out streams of rosy light. The silver screen on the giant shuttle's surface was precisely the divine ability of this token. And the beautiful woman beside her, because she had used her remaining magic power to sacrifice the Four-Image Ruler again, although it was just a bluff, had also become shaky, completely losing the ability to move.

Madam Mu, in her busy schedule, turned her head to look at her junior sister, her face full of worry.

"Senior Sister, don't worry. I only need to go back and recuperate for a few years, and I'll be fine." The beautiful woman smiled, trying to comfort her.

"I hope so. For you to drive the Four-Image Ruler with your current cultivation level is truly too difficult for you." Madam Mu said helplessly.

"But if we didn't use this treasure, how could we have snatched the Transformation Dragon Seal from the hands of great cultivators like Old Demon Qian? That brat surnamed Han is cunning indeed. Once he got the treasures, he slipped away immediately. Otherwise, he could have shared some of the pressure for us." The beautiful woman said resentfully.

Madam Mu could only smile bitterly upon hearing this. In her mind, the image of Han Li and that terrifying fan flashed simultaneously.

Behind the giant shuttle, the blood shadow, golden light, and purple mist were chasing relentlessly, also shooting into the Arctic Yuan Light.

The two women were currently in a weak state, and if the Sun-Moon Shuttle weren't truly miraculous, they would have been captured long ago. Therefore, these three had no intention of letting go.

However, as soon as they entered the Arctic Yuan Light, Old Demon Qian and the others immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The two women in the silver shuttle ahead could actually use the silver token in their hands to directly control the illusion array restrictions within the Arctic Yuan Light. Although these illusion arrays didn't count for much to the three of them, they were blocked slightly, allowing the spirit shuttle to seize the opportunity and disappear into the dense silver threads after a few flickers, without a trace.

This made Old Demon Qian furious, while the Silver-Winged Nightcha and the Lion-Bird Beast looked at each other and then looked at Old Demon Qian with unkind gazes.

The old demon sensed this and became vigilant, snorting coldly at the two monsters before saying unceremoniously:

"What? Do the two of you want to have designs on this old man?"

"Not at all, Fellow Daoist's divine abilities are so vast, how could we do such an unwise thing!" The Silver-Winged Nightcha hesitated for a moment, seemingly feeling that even if it joined forces with the Lion-Bird Beast, it couldn't easily take down the old demon, so it laughed and said. Then, it called the Lion-Bird Beast, and the two monsters immediately used their divine abilities to break open a path and flew away.

For the two monsters, since their life-bound plaques were in hand, the main purpose of their trip had been achieved, so they didn't want to create extra trouble.

Old Demon Qian saw the two monsters' backs disappear into the Arctic Yuan Light, then let out a cold laugh, transforming into a blood shadow and shooting away from another direction.

Countless silver threads pierced through the blood-red shadow, but didn't make the old demon's escape light pause at all. After moving east and west, he flew out of the illusion array restriction.

Only then did the old demon feel relieved in his heart, wanting to fly to the exit in one breath, when suddenly, his expression changed, and he slowed down his escape light. His sharp eyes in the blood light flickered incessantly.

"Who is it? Get out here!" The old demon suddenly let out a sharp shout.

"Brother Qian is worthy of being the Great Elder of the Yin Luo Sect; your cultivation is indeed profound!" A calm male voice came from behind a stone pillar ahead. A figure flickered, and a youth walked out calmly, wearing a murky light shield.

"Han Li!" Old Demon Qian naturally recognized the person at a glance, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"You've been here for a while, haven't you! Are you waiting for this old man?" Seeing Han Li's protective shield easily blocking the Arctic Yuan Light, the old demon's facial muscles twitched, and he said sinisterly.

"It seems I don't need to say anything more; Fellow Daoist Qian has already guessed a few points. It's very simple, can Brother Qian copy the spell for breaking the Soul-Sealing Curse of your sect for me!" Han Li said calmly.

"Soul-Sealing Curse?" This made Old Demon Qian somewhat surprised, but after pondering for a moment, he looked up and laughed wildly.

"Although I don't know why you want the spell to break this curse, do you think this old man will tell you?"

"I knew it, that was just a waste of breath. But I still couldn't help but want to try. After all, if I were to extract the soul and refine the spirit of the Great Elder of the Ten Great Sects, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay in Great Jin anymore." Han Li sighed and muttered, as if chatting casually with a neighbor.

Hearing the words "extract soul and refine spirit," Old Demon Qian's pupils shrank, but immediately, sharp light like swords shot out.

"Wanting to extract this old man's soul and refine his spirit, you have to see if you have the ability. Call out any helpers you have together. With just you, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, you wouldn't dare to say such big words." The old demon said calmly.

"Since Fellow Daoist has said so, Fellow Daoist Gui, you can come out too." Han Li said lightly, not caring at all.

As soon as these words fell, light flashed behind another stone pillar on the old demon's side, and the ugly woman walked out wearing blood-red battle armor, holding a stick in one hand, her expression expressionless.

"It's you? What benefits did this brat give you that you would join forces with him? I can give you even greater benefits!" Old Demon Qian was startled at first, but immediately his eyes turned, and he said.

"Fine! Give me your life!" The ugly woman snorted, slammed the black stick in her hand onto the ground, and stared, saying. This monster had to submit to Han Li and was full of anger, so naturally, she wouldn't give the old demon a good look.

Old Demon Qian was furious to hear this, but his face showed nothing. His divine sense swept all around again, and finally, after confirming that there was no third person, he felt relieved in his heart.

If it were just these two, he was confident that he could escape without any problems.

After weighing the pros and cons, Old Demon Qian didn't say any more nonsense. Blood light erupted from his body, and he transformed into a blood shadow, shooting toward one side, not wanting to fight Han Li and the two here at all.

Han Li had long expected this. Seeing this scene, he didn't hesitate to raise one hand, and a pitch-black ring appeared in his hand, expanding wildly in the wind.

Grabbing this treasure with one hand, he shook it slightly. Silver waves rippled within several dozen zhang, and circles of silver threads gathered in the clear sound, instantly forming a silver barrier of Arctic Yuan Light, blocking all directions tightly.

Old Demon Qian's blood shadow was indeed formidable, as if it could ignore damage, but upon seeing such dense light threads, he was still startled, and his escape light paused naturally.

Just this bit of delay, and the ugly woman waved the black stick magic treasure in her hand into the void without hesitation. Heavy stick shadows instantly appeared above the blood shadow's head, smashing down with a black pressure.

Before it fell, a giant pressure attacked first. Old Demon Qian felt his whole body tighten, and his body was actually restrained by an invisible force out of thin air, unable to move at all.

The old demon's heart tightened.

Almost at the same time, Han Li had already sacrificed the Yang ring, and after pointing at it solemnly, countless silver threads flew out from the silver waves, densely forming a giant net, covering the blood shadow.

Old Demon Qian's face changed greatly, and suddenly a sharp howl came from his mouth. A strange scene appeared.

As spiritual light flowed around the blood shadow, suddenly its abdomen expanded rapidly. With a muffled "bang," the entire body burst open on its own, and countless blood threads fled in all directions. In this way, whether it was the stick shadows weighing over a thousand catties or the giant net formed by the Arctic Yuan Light, they all lost their effect.

They could only watch as these blood threads circled once and condensed and deformed at another place over ten zhang away.

In the blink of an eye, the blood shadow transformed by Old Demon Qian reappeared, completely unharmed!
